As soon as I found out I was having a girl I knew she would have a VERY feminine nursery. Bryce knew that I had a specific vision in mind and gave me full artistic freedom with the exception of the furniture. The only he asked was that the wood be a dark rich wood, which I was fine with. I started looking at crib bedding and went from there. I looked at Winnie the Pooh themes, woodland creatures, shabby chic, soooo many different styles. I really wanted to do a Beatrix Potter theme because the stories are very dear to my family and I love the light innocence of the art.
I has seen that Pottery Barn Kids had a Peter Rabbit crib set that I liked but didn't feel that it was soft enough looking for the pinks and pastels I wanted. So I kept looking for sets EVERYWHERE. I kept seeing a beautiful but discontinued set from Pottery Barn Kids on Pinterest and assorted blogs. It seemed like I would never find it though.
Finally, one day I did my daily eBay check and there it was. The bumper and crib skirt, in all its sweet glory. I freaked out and did the buy it now price so fast I barely had time to read the info. It was practically brand new. The skirt still had the tags on it! I made the big bows myself to add a little more pink.
